Creador de "Two and a half men" Intento de robo en casa de productor Chuck Lorre
Chuck Lorre —icónico productor de televisión detrás de "Two and a Half Men", "The Big Bang Theory" y más— tuvo un drama en su casa en Los Ángeles a principios de este mes, de acuerdo con la policía.
Los policías que respondieron a la casa de Chuck le dicen a TMZ que después de que se activara su alarma de seguridad y llegaran a la escena, encontraron vidrios rotos que indican que los posibles ladrones intentaron entrar por una ventana o puerta de cristal.
La policía inspeccionó la casa y sus alrededores y aunque no encontraron a ningún sospechoso, sí hallaron un montón de pruebas de un intento de robo, incluyendo una caja de fusibles manipulada. Por suerte, no hubo Big Bang...
Nos dicen que Chuck no estaba en la casa cuando ocurrió el incidente y se cree que el sonido de la alarma asustó a los ladrones.
En un giro importante de la trama, también nos dicen que una semana y media después hubo otra llamada de alarma en la misma casa, así como una en septiembre.
No se sabe si estaban explorando la casa del productor o si estaban tratando de volver para terminar el trabajo.
La Policía de Los Ángeles nos dice que tomó nota de un intento de robo y está investigando. Hasta ahora, no se han hecho arrestos.
Diddy Sued by Third Woman for Rape, Choking
UPDATE
9:40 AM PT -- A spokesperson for Diddy tells TMZ ... "These are civil suits with fabricated claims of misconduct from over 30 years ago, which are nothing but a blatant money grab. Mr. Combs is being unfairly targeted by anonymous accusers who lie for financial gain. The New York Legislature never intended the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited."
Diddy has been sued a third time for alleged sexual assault and this time a third person is allegedly involved.
The new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, was filed anonymously -- by a Jane Doe -- who claims Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and one of her friends, either in 1990 or 1991.
The lawsuit alleges the woman and her friend met Diddy at a record event, and Diddy and Hall began flirting with them, buying them drinks during the evening.
The woman claims Diddy and Hall took the woman to Hall's apartment, where she was offered more alcohol and then coerced into having sex with Diddy. She says she was traumatized, and then as she lay in the bed, Hall allegedly came in, pinned her down and raped her.
She says her friend was also raped by both men.
She says a few days later, Combs went to the woman's home and became enraged ... “He was irate and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out. Combs was searching for Jane Doe’s friend because he was worried that she would tell the girl he was with at the time what he and Hall had done to them.”
The New York lawsuit, first reported by Rolling Stone, claims she went to doctors and told her family and friends about what happened.
As you know, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy last week, alleging, among other things, rape and human trafficking. The case settled the day after it was filed for an undisclosed amount.
As for the second lawsuit, a rep told us ... "This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson's 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more."

A$AP ROCKY "LO TENEMOS EN VIDEO CON UNA PISTOLA EN la MANO"
Hay un gran avance en el caso de asalto A$AP Rocky, los fiscales acaban de mostrar un video de él sosteniendo un arma de fuego antes de supuestamente dispararle a un ex compañero miembro de la mafia A$AP Relli.
El video fue reproducido en una sala de Los Ángeles el lunes por la tarde, y los fiscales dicen que es Rocky en el clip con un arma de fuego durante un altercado físico con Relli.
El detective de Los Ángeles, Frank Flores, subió al estrado y testificó que la polía obtuvo el video durante el curso de su investigación. La fiscalía también mostró fotos fijas de las imágenes para reforzar su afirmación de que es A$AP Rocky con una pistola.
El padre del bebé de Rihanna estaba en la corte cuando los fiscales hicieron su caso en su contra. Vestido con un traje azul oscuro, gafas negras y mascarilla negra, permaneció estoico durante todo el testimonio explosivo en su contra.
Los fiscales también jugó un clip separado de lo que dicen son 2 disparos ... aunque no ha habido ningún video de la supuesta disparos en sí. Relli afirma que Rocky le disparó en la mano.
La cámara de la policía también fue expuesta en el tribunal, y muestra al menos siete agentes llegando a la escena del presunto tiroteo y buscando pruebas, nunca encuentran el arma.
Como hemos informado, Relli afirma que tenía problemas con Rocky lo cual conduce al presunto incidente y testificó que Rocky puso una pistola en su estómago durante un acalorado intercambio.
Relli testificó previamente que Rocky no disparó en ese momento, en lugar de afirmar que las balas comenzaron a volar poco después de que se separaron. Dice que Rocky salió corriendo y lo dejó en la calle después de disparar unos cuatro tiros.
Aunque la policía dice que no encontró ningún casquillo, Relli afirma que volvió al lugar esa misma noche y recuperó un par de casquillos de 9 mm. Los abogados de Rocky le interrogaron sobre esta afirmación, preguntándole cómo pudo encontrar casquillos cuando la policía no pudo.
Cabe señalar que no se encontraron huellas dactilares en los casquillos que Relli proporcionó a la policía.
A$AP Rocky Prosecutors We Got Him ON VIDEO WITH GUN IN HAND ... Before Alleged Shooting
update
2:35 PM PT -- The judge just decided there's enough to take Rocky's case to trial. He'll answer to two counts of first-degree assault with a firearm ... arraignment on January 8.
Potentially huge development in the A$AP Rocky assault case ... prosecutors just showed what they claim is video of him holding a gun before allegedly shooting former fellow Mob member A$AP Relli.
The video was played in an L.A. courtroom Monday afternoon, and prosecutors say that's Rocky in the clip holding a gun during a physical altercation with Relli.
LAPD detective Frank Flores took the stand, and testified cops obtained the video during the course of their investigation. The prosecution also showed still photos from the footage to bolster their claim it's A$AP Rocky with a gun.
Rihanna's baby daddy was in court as prosecutors made their case against him ... wearing a dark blue suit, black glasses and black facemask, remaining stoic throughout the explosive testimony against him.
Prosecutors also played a separate clip of what they say are 2 gunshots ... though there's been no video of the alleged shooting itself. Relli claims Rocky shot his hand.
Police body cam video was also shown in court ... and it shows at least 7 officers arriving at the scene of the alleged shooting and canvassing for evidence ... they never find the weapon.
As we reported... Relli claims he had beef with Rocky leading up to the alleged incident, and he testified Rocky put a gun to his stomach during a heated exchange.
Relli previously testified Rocky didn't shoot right then and there, instead claiming the bullets started flying shortly after they separated. He says Rocky took off running and left him on the street after firing about 4 shots.
While cops say they didn't find any shell casings, Relli claims he came back to the scene later that night and recovered a pair of 9mm shells. Rocky's lawyers grilled him over the claim, asking how he could easily find casings when the cops could not.
Worth noting ... no fingerprints were recovered from the shell casings Relli provided to law enforcement.
We covered the story on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

50 Cent no está en peligro por tirar un micrófono hacia la multitud durante un show en Los Ángeles, o al menos, por ahora. El incidente ocurrido en agosto dejó a una espectadora con múltiples lesiones en la cabeza y en su cara.
La locutora de Power 106 Bryhana Monegain presentó un informe a la policía tras el incidente del 30 de agosto. Originalmente, la policía había presentado el caso a L.A. County D.A. como un delito grave, pero la Oficina del Fiscal más tarde lo pateó a la Oficina del Fiscal de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles.
Ahora, la oficina del Fiscal de la Ciudad le dice a TMZ que no se han presentado cargos criminales contra el rapero de 48 años y no se presentarán, siempre y cuando él mantenga su nariz limpia.
Nos dicen que el caso permanecerá abierto durante 1 año a partir de la fecha del incidente y podría ser reevaluado si hay más incidentes entre 50 y Bryhana.
8/30/23
Todo comenzó cuando 50 Cent actuó en el Crypto.com Arena de Los Ángeles. Un video lo mostraba muy enojado lanzando su micrófono a la multitud y golpeando a Bryhana en la frente tan fuerte que necesitó asistencia médica.
Hubo problemas técnicos durante el concierto y 50 estaba enojado por el mal funcionamiento del micrófono. Su abogado Scott Leemon nos dijo que 50 "nunca golpearía intencionadamente a nadie con un micrófono".

50 Cent is in the clear, for now, for chucking a microphone into the crowd during his L.A. show back in August ... an incident that left a spectator with multiple lacerations to her head and face.
Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain filed a police report following the incident on August 30 ... and cops originally presented the case to the L.A. County D.A. as a felony -- but the D.A.'s Office later kicked it to the L.A. City Attorney's office.
Now, the City Attorney's office tells TMZ no criminal charges have been filed against the 48-year-old rapper, and won't be filed as long as he keeps his nose clean.
We're told the case will remain open for 1 year from the date of the incident ... and it could be re-evaluated for possible criminal charges should there be any further incidents between 50 and Bryhana.
8/30/23
This all started when 50 Cent performed at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena, and video showed him angrily throwing his mic into the crowd ... and it smashed Bryhana in the forehead so badly, she needed medical assistance.
There were technical issues during the concert, and 50 was pissed about the mic malfunctioning. His lawyer Scott Leemon told us 50 would "never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone."

Exclusive Details

Floyd Mayweather's returning to the boxing ring to take care of some unfinished business ... the legendary fighter is taking on John Gotti III in Las Vegas over Super Bowl weekend in February, a rematch of their '23 fight that ended in chaos!
TMZ Sports is told the event will happen around Super Sunday (February 11 in Sin City) and will be headlined by 46-year-old Mayweather vs. 31-year-old Gotti III.
Floyd, 50-0, is one of the greatest fighters to ever put on a pair of gloves. Gotti III, grandson of the legendary Gambino family crime boss, John Gotti, was originally an MMA fighter (5-1), who eventually got into boxing (2-0).
The rest of the card will be anchored by Floyd's Mayweather Promotions fighters.
Of course, Floyd and John have history. Back in June, they boxed at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida ... but the bout was called in the sixth round after a bunch of holding and other shenanigans in the ring.
Although the fight was technically stopped by ref Kenny Bayless, it was just the beginning of the fighting ... as mayhem erupted inside the squared circle, and outside of it, too.
In fact, Joseline Hernandez and Big Lex were seen scrapping.
Order was eventually restored ... and reps for the fighters spoke and peaced things up.
Now, the men are set to battle again ... during what was already one of the biggest weeks in all of sports.
And, to make sure there isn't a repeat of the first fight, we're told there are clauses in the contracts that could trigger a financial fine if anyone gets out of line.
The fight, a pay-per-view event airing on Zeus network, will be promoted by Mayweather Promotions, along with partner Hidden Empire Films!
The exact date, time and location have not yet been announced.

Diddy Not Subject of Criminal Investigation ... NYPD Admits Providing 'Erroneous' Info
-
Exclusive
- 651 shares
update
8:59 AM PT -- 11/17 -- NYPD says the information its spokesperson provided -- about a "locked" Diddy investigation -- was incorrect.
The full NYPD statement reads ... "Yesterday, a member of the NYPD’s public information office erroneously told a reporter about the apparent existence of an active case file containing the name 'Sean Combs.' There is no such investigation, at present. Further, the release of such information is not consistent with the internal policies of the office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information. The NYPD always treats allegations of sexual assault and rape extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so that support and services can be offered to survivors and a comprehensive investigation can be conducted."
Diddy is the subject of a secret, NYPD investigation, and although it's unclear if his ex, Cassie Ventura, made the criminal complaint, there is strong evidence it involves sexual assault.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... there is an open case at NYPD with the name, "Sean Combs." We're told it is an active case but the case file has been "locked" -- essentially meaning it's a sensitive case where access is restricted.
As we reported, Cassie has filed an explosive federal lawsuit, which alleges rape and human trafficking, among other accusations.
We inquired about the case to NYPD, and they responded with this statement ... "The NYPD takes sexual assault and rape cases extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so we can perform a comprehensive investigation, and offer support and services to survivors."
It would seem based on the statement, not only is this a sexual assault case, but the NYPD is actively looking for other alleged victims.
We contacted other law enforcement in numerous jurisdictions Cassie mentions in her complaint -- including Miami, Beverly Hills and Los Angeles -- and at every juncture, we got the same reply ... no police report has been filed as it pertains to Cassie or Diddy, and no investigation has been launched.
We did find a 2016 case, where TMZ broke the story, BH cops were called after a breakup argument of some sort between Diddy and Cassie. A domestic incident report was taken, but no legal action followed.
As we reported, Cassie has claimed everything from rape, to assault/battery and even human trafficking -- this after alleging Diddy forced her to have sex with male prostitutes across state lines.
Because that could rise to a federal crime, we also checked with federal law enforcement sources -- including the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of NY, as well as the FBI -- and on both fronts ... zip.
Diddy's lawyer has come out strong, calling BS on Cassie's lawsuit. He told us most of her claims would be barred from criminal prosecution based on the statute of limitations. Her rape claim, however, could still be pursued here in Cali -- so time will tell if she files a criminal complaint there.
Diddy has vehemently denied all of Cassie's allegations ... and accused her of seeking to shake him down for big-time cash, to the tune of $30 million.
So as of now, we have found one case in NYC where it seems Diddy is in the crosshairs of police.

Diddy No es sujeto de investigación criminal... Policía de Nueva York admite haber entregado información errónea
-
Exclusivo
- 1 shares
Actualización
8:59 AM PT -- 11/17 -- La policía de Nueva York dice que la información proporcionada por su portavoz sobre una investigación "cerrada" de Diddy era incorrecta.
La declaración completa del organismo dice: "Ayer, un miembro de la oficina de información pública del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York informó erróneamente a un reportero sobre la aparente existencia de un expediente activo que contenía el nombre de "Sean Combs". En la actualidad no existe tal investigación. Además, la divulgación de dicha información no es coherente con las políticas internas de la oficina del Comisionado Adjunto de Información Pública. La policía de Nueva York siempre trata las acusaciones de agresión sexual y violación con extrema seriedad e insta a cualquier persona que haya sido víctima a que presente una denuncia policial para que se pueda ofrecer apoyo y servicios a los supervivientes y se pueda llevar a cabo una investigación exhaustiva".
Diddy es objeto de una investigación secreta de la policía de Nueva York, y aunque no está claro si su ex Cassie Ventura hizo la denuncia penal, hay una fuerte evidencia de que esta involucra agresión sexual.
Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que hay un caso abierto en la policía de Nueva York con el nombre de "Sean Combs". Nos dicen que es un caso activo, pero el archivo ha sido "bloqueado", lo que significa que es un caso sensible y el acceso está restringido.
Como informamos, Cassie presentó una demanda federal explosiva, en la que alega violación y trata de personas, entre otras acusaciones.
Le preguntamos sobre el caso a la policía de Nueva York y respondieron con esta declaración: "El Departamento de Policía de Nueva York (NYPD) toma los casos de asalto sexual y violación extremadamente en serio, e insta a cualquier persona que haya sido víctima a presentar una denuncia policial para que podamos realizar una investigación exhaustiva y ofrecer apoyo y servicios a los sobrevivientes".
Basándonos en la declaración, parece que este no es solo un caso de agresión sexual, pues la policía está buscando activamente a otras presuntas víctimas.
Nos pusimos en contacto con otras jurisdicciones policiales que Cassie menciona en su denuncia, incluyendo Miami, Beverly Hills y Los Ángeles, y en cada una de ellas obtuvimos la misma respuesta. No se ha presentado ningún informe policial en lo que respecta a Cassie o Diddy y no se ha iniciado ninguna investigación.
Encontramos un caso de 2016, que TMZ publicó en su momento. La policía de Beverly Hills fue contactada después de una discusión entre Diddy y Cassie, presuntamente a causa de una ruptura. Se realizó un informe del incidente doméstico, pero no se siguió ninguna acción legal.
Como ya informamos, Cassie ha denunciado todo tipo de delitos, desde violación a agresión y hasta tráfico de personas, después de alegar que Diddy la obligó a mantener relaciones sexuales con prostitutos a través de las fronteras estatales.
Debido a que se eleva a un delito federal, también hemos comprobado con fuentes policiales de esa índole, incluyendo la Oficina del Fiscal de Estados Unidos en el Distrito Sur de Nueva York, así como con el FBI, y en ambos frentes nada.
El abogado de Diddy ha sido contundente en llamar "basura" la demanda de Cassie. Nos dijo que la mayoría de sus reclamos serían excluidos de la persecución penal sobre la base de la ley de prescripción. Su demanda por violación, sin embargo, todavía podría ser perseguida aquí en California, así que el tiempo dirá si ella presenta una denuncia penal allí.
Diddy ha negado vehementemente todas las acusaciones de Cassie y denunció su intento de quitarle dinero en efectivo a lo grande, por la suma de $30 millones.
Kelly Oubre Jr. Video Shows NBAer Wincing In Pain ... After Getting Hit By Car

November 2023
TMZ Sports has obtained footage of Kelly Oubre Jr. just minutes after he was struck by a vehicle over the weekend ... showing the Philadelphia 76ers forward struggling to walk as he entered his apartment.
As we previously reported, the 6'7" hooper was involved in a hit-and-run outside his Philly residence on Saturday ... suffering a broken rib and injuries to his hip and leg after a silver car swiped him with a side-view mirror.
Sources tell us Oubre returned home shortly after being hit ... and when his wife saw him in serious pain, she called 911.
In the Ring camera footage, Oubre is heard telling Shylynn he was hit by a car as he rolled a bicycle into his residence.
We're told the 27-year-old was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital ... where medical professionals began treatment.
Our sources say a couple hours after the incident, officials interviewed Oubre to get some information on what went down.
At the time, Oubre claimed the incident happened near 15th and Spruce Street .... but on Wednesday, police said there was no surveillance video to support his claim.
Sources tell us two factors play into this -- one being Oubre was medicated and not in the right state of mind when he spoke with cops ... the other being he's fresh to the area, as he just moved to Philly in September and doesn't know his way around town just yet.
All that considered, our sources say it was challenging for Oubre to pinpoint the exact location of the accident ... so he tried his best.
There's no official timetable on Oubre's recovery ... although some reports claim he could be back in action as early as the end of the month.
Oubre's teammates have rallied behind him in his absence -- most notably, Tyrese Maxey dedicated his 50-point performance to the former Kansas standout following the accident.

Glen 'Big Baby' Davis Convicted Of Defrauding NBA's Healthcare Plan
Glen "Big Baby" Davis was just found guilty of swindling the NBA out of a ton of cash through the league's healthcare plan ... after authorities claim he accepted reimbursement for medical treatments he never received.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York announced the update in the case on Wednesday ... saying a jury determined the former Boston Celtics champion -- as well as fellow ex-NBAer Will Bynum -- were involved in a criminal scheme to defraud the NBA's Players' Health and Benefit Welfare Plan.
As we previously reported, a number of NBA alums -- including Darius Miles, Shannon Brown, Tony Allen, Jamario Moon, Tony Wroten, Melvin Ely and Ruben Patterson -- were accused of lining their pockets through the scheme by filing bogus claims for reimbursement with the league's healthcare plan.
Prosecutors previously claimed Terrence Williams, a 2009 NBA Draft first-round pick, was the mastermind behind it all.
OCTOBER 2021
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams released a statement ... saying, "While many of the more than 20 defendants convicted in this case were well-known NBA stars, their conduct was otherwise a typical fraudulent scheme designed to defraud the NBA’s health care plan and net the defendants over $5 million in illicit profits."
Worth noting -- Davis reportedly made more than $33.1 million over the course of his career.
"Today’s conviction exemplifies that despite notoriety or success in sports or any other field," Williams added, "no one is exempt from criminal charges if they engage in fraud."
